I didn't want to come here and just complain on this forum as I've used it a lot for local things and found it really useful. I've just moved to East Dulwich (been here now for a couple of months and English is not my first language , that's why I probably wrote something confusing). I think East Dulwich is quite a nice area. However, today I went to two hairdressing places (one in Melbourne grove). I was completely ignored in the first place and nobody came up to ask what I needed.I found my own seat. I thought because it was a busy Saturday afternoon. But then the next customer was treated totally differently. The receptionist went up to her ,held her coat and arranged her to sit somewhere. I was wondering if this place was only for posh locals? or they were to busy to deal with a foreigner? Again the receptionist was quite rude to me in Willis B. I said hello to her and got no reply , not even a little smile on her face. Her expression was like " what did you come inside for?" I was a bit surprised as I've heard of its good reputation. Overall I'm a bit surprised at the treatment I received, mostly people here have been helpful and polite but today ws totally different and it made me feel really angry - a feeling of exclusion I've not felt here before. RE: SeanMacGabhann - yeah maybe you are right but I need to get it off my chest and thought this place would be good.
